dsalituro

Niveau 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Anton Kraous was already all in as Kanan Taherkhani and Benjamin Tessier built a side pot on a 5♥A♦Q♣ flop and 14,000 in the middle.

Tessier then bet 16,100 from the button before Taherkhani moved all in for 23,000. Tessier folded to leave Taherkhani heads-up with Kraous.

Anton Kraous: 3♣3♥
Kanan Taherkhani: 5♠5♦

Kraous was already drawing virtually dead as Taherkhani showed a flopped set. The A♠ turn left Kraous without any hope as the 6♦ completed the board.

"Jacks," Taherkhani asked Tessier after the hand. Tessier shook his head.

"Kings," Taherkhani continued.

"Maybe," Tessier replied.

Fabrice Bigot: K♠10♠

Hang had top pair, but Bigot hit the nut flush directly on the flop, so Xu was eliminated just before the break.
